Well i took my Is220d to the dealer today to have it 20k service also the 5th injector recall and a few things to sort out, they give me a 08 Is250 SE auto to use while my being worked on ( it wont be ready maybe till Thurday or Friday, they are sorting a few scratches out for me at the same time), as this is the first time i drove an auto, i was suprise how good it feel, so smooth, and the peddle shift also pretty fun, but i have to say that i need to rev hard to hear the V6 vrooooom, was expecting more vrooom sounds from the V6, but overall, im impressed with the Is250 auto, shame i didnt test drive the auto 250 when i was looking a t both the Is250 and Is220d back in 2006 (i only test drove the Is220d and a manual Is250), also at the times the Is250 Se was over £2500 more than the Is220d, which i cant afford at the times, so in the end i went for the Is220d, nevermind i still enjoy my 56 Is220d, hopefully after the 5th injector recall, it will run even better than before.....

I'm sure the tuning on the diesel can increase the bhp to 211. google it
